Apple Watch Stainless Steel 42mm with white sport band (after 5 days of use)

iLike mug: - The most beautiful modern timepiece with premium materials and finishes - Easy to change straps - The actual watch doesn’t look/feel as thick as those promotional photos on Apple’s site - It’s comfortable to wear all day long - UI is simple and easy to use (although it did take a couple days to get use to) - Digital Crown and Force Touch totally make sense for navigating and interacting with the watch small screen - “Hey Siri" experience is very good - The wrist seems to be a better place than a phone for notifications - It’s like a modern iPod on the wrist - There are already useful third-party watch apps available. Some apps just make sense and more convenient on the watch than on the phone - Fitness features are at least a little motivating especially for people don’t exercise much - Battery life is not bad. No problem at all getting it for a full day (lighter usages can even get 2 days battery)

August Smart Door Lock (after 3.5 months) + August Connect (after 1.5 month)

iLike mug: - Beautiful design. The best looking smart door lock on the market - auto lock and auto unlock (when they work which is 7 out of 10 times) - auto unlock feature doesn't draw too much battery out from my phone (iPhone 6 Plus) - easy to install - only need to replace lock bolt inside the house. Outside looks normal. Perfect for rental place and apartments - great customer support, quick responses

iDislike mug: - software, software, software!!! - software: no iOS HomeKit support (while their name was Apple's WWDC keynote) - software: need to re-calibrate almost once a month. Otherwise, it won't connect at all - software: slow loading or connecting (sometimes) - software: 2 clicks instead of 1 before unlock (maybe good for people who have multiple August locks. Not good for most like myself who only has one lock) - software: should have Notifications Center support for quicker access (or hopefully an Apple Watch app) - software: shortest auto lock time is 30 seconds which for some people may still find that too long (especially when auto lock feature is not working 100%) - software: no push notification (even with Connect) as what manufacture suggested when door is opened - Connect device WiFi connection is super slow. And connection has to be done manually (by pressing the Remote Connect button) - expensive, US$250 for Lock + $50 for Connect (compared to others on the market which can be $100 cheaper)

Conclusion: Beautiful hardware marries with Poor software. Not recommended!! (Until there's better software)

Update: August got back to me. Besides providing TestFlight beta app, they also answering all questions very seriously. Love their customer service!!

olloclip 4-IN-1 LENS for iPhone 6/6 Plus

iLike mug: Very good quality lenses; Fisheye super wide is fun; Wide-angle lens is useful for both landscape shots & shelfe (no need to carry one of those shelfe sticks); Marco lenses take super close up shots; Can be used on both front & back cameras

iDislike mug: Need a bit of alignment manually when putting it on (the old version for iPhone 5/5s was almost a dead fit); No telephoto lens; Will likely be obsoleted in a year or two (just like my old iPhone 5 version in the drawer) which makes this an expensive accessory

TwelveSouth HiRise

iLike mug: Beautiful with clean design; Rises up device from desk for better viewing; Fits most iOS devices with Lightning connector; Able to access iPhone’s headphone jack when docked

iDislike mug: for those who like gold color and easier assembly, HiRise Deluxe may be a better choice
